The caption says “Vashtie Kola attends her birthday party at Santos on April 28, 2009 in New York City.” OK… nice kicks, but who is she?
Here lately I’ve noticed random people throwing birthday parties for themselves and hiring Wireimage photographers to come out and shoot. Is that all it takes to get your shine on in a national medium now? Does this mean if I throw my birthday party and hire a Wireimage photographer, I can be all up on Wireimage too? Not that I would ever consider doing such a thing. I’m not as important as these people apparently think they are.
We all know who the rap icon Q Tip is. So is she his girlfriend? It’s a sad reflection of the times when all a chick has to do to get face time in the press is hook up with a well-known public figure.
Former Floetry member Amanda Diva attended Vashtie’s party. Not that it means anything. Especially when you consider that quite a few people gain notoriety based on who they know. Take June Ambrose for instance: she’s well known in NY for her famous clients. But outside of her small snobbish circle, she’s a nobody.
Nice cake. L to R: Kid Cudi, Rob Young, Joe Hayes and Vashtie
